Ensure that the mounts lie flat, i.e. that no
cables or other attachments prevent a flat

INTENDED USE
The Vario X chassis is designed to be assembled
together with the body to form a caravan.
The caravan is designed as mobile travel accom-
modation for private, non-commercial use. In pu-
blic road traffic, the vehicle may only be used in
accordance with the provisions of the Highway
Code and road traffic regulations. The caravan is
only suitable to be towed by car, not by truck, bus
or similar. It must not be used for the transport of
passengers and animals.
The permissible gross weight of the caravan and
the permissible axle load must not be exceeded.
Any use of the chassis other than that described
here is prohibited and is considered improper.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The Vario X chassis is maintenance-free.
ADVICE
To avoid white rust formation (defective
appearance):
Ensure sufficient air circulation when
storing!
After winter journeys, wash the
hot dip galvanised components with
clean water!

Maintenance instructions for the esta-
blishment and development of other
components, refer to the manufacturer's
